Occupy Wall Street protestor Malcolm Harris found this out the hard way, after Twitter informed him of this news earlier this year that his account had been subpoenaed. Naturally, he tried to block the subpoena - referring to the way in which it was delivered to the microblogging site, by way of fax to the company's San Francisco headquarters.
